November passed in a hurry and in a messy way. In a blink of an eye, there was heavy snowfall, winter began to prevail across the country, and the temperature dropped sharply.
When you wake up in the morning, a layer of winter mist floats in the streets. From a distance, it looks vast and light as a veil, but when you get closer, you can't catch it, it's looming.
At this time of year, pedestrians on the road have put on thicker clothes to keep themselves warm and proactively welcome the coming of winter.
Xiao Liu, who works in Wuhan, got up early and went to Yangji before going to work. He ordered a hot mutton soup. The warm soup entered his stomach with a fresh and mellow aroma, which immediately warmed his whole body.
After letting out a satisfied "ah", Xiao Liu showed an ecstatic expression, and then burped easily.
At this time, there was a sound of Liliwei's decoration coming from across the street, which attracted Xiao Liu to look outside.
I saw that three shops on the street were being renovated at the same time. Although the prototypes were not yet visible, the signs were already hung.
The Zero Hour Convenience Store, Linchuan BBQ Restaurant, and an old hotel on the corner of the street seem to have changed their brands to Weiner and are undergoing interior decoration.
"Isn't everyone saying that the economy is about to go down again? Why are there so many new stores to be opened?"
Xiao Liu broke off the white film and soaked it in a bowl. Suddenly, he saw Yang Ji, the decorator on the opposite side, coming huffing and puffing.
As if it was already an agreement, Yang Ji's clerk hurriedly brought out a pile of breakfast and distributed it to the decoration workers one by one.
The workers ate in a hurry, put on their hats and gloves, and headed to the other side facing the early morning mist.
"Do you still do group meal business?"
"No, we don't accept group meals, but our Yangji has a cooperative relationship with several stores across the street, so we are responsible for providing meals for the workers during the renovation period."
The waiter took the money and took out a card: "Seeing as you often come to eat here, would you like to apply for a card? 20% off consumption. You can also use it after the stores across the street open."
Xiao Liu took it and took a look: "Xihan Heqing, this name is quite weird."
“But it’s really delicious at 20% off.”
"That's true."
Xiao Liu comes to Yang Kee for breakfast every day, not only for the mutton soup, but also for their honey dumplings and spicy chicken set menu.
It would be great if you can get a 20% discount, not to mention that the stores opposite can also use it.
Although he is a local and cannot stay in a hotel, he can still use it to eat barbecue, go to a convenience store to buy cigarettes, and buy happy water.
So Xiao Liu spent 300 yuan to register membership information and get a Xihanheqing membership card.
"Brother Liu, please order three cups of Xitian for us, two and a half cups of rose taro and one cup of ginger and red dates."
"Okay Lily."
Xiao Liu walked out of Yangji holding his membership card, came to Xitian, and started ordering.
While the clerk was making milk tea, Xiao Liu put his bag and card on the counter, then took out his wallet from his inner pocket and looked at the price tag on the counter to find change.
"Don't you have a membership card?"
"ah?"
The clerk picked up the Xihan Heqing card and swiped the card gently. The milk tea originally priced at 16 yuan was discounted to 9 yuan.
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment: "Can this card be used even if you like it?"
The beautiful clerk sister blinked: "The joy of Hanheqing is the joy of sweetness. Didn't the clerk who helped pay for the membership give you a detailed introduction?"
"She gave me a brief introduction, but she gave me a coloring page of her membership card, which I threw into the trash can."
"It's okay, I'll give you another one."
The store clerk also sent a guide for using the membership card: "It has a list of brands that use this card, as well as other brands that will join the membership program soon."
Xiao Liu glanced at it: "It's only nine yuan for three cups of milk tea. Isn't this a huge discount?"
"It's not a discount. The rose fragrance is still at the original price, but it's snowing heavily today, so I'm giving you ginger and red dates. I wish your girlfriend a warm winter."
"Not my girlfriend yet, but I'm chasing her, hehe."
Xiao Liu carried three cups of milk tea, laughed a little shyly, and then walked out of Xitian's store, walking towards the company while looking at the card application manual in his hand.
He found that this card was so awesome. Although it was only a few stores now, such as hot pot, fast food, milk tea, grilled fish, desserts, and fresh fruits, his later plans also involved hotels, KTVs, convenience stores, and supermarkets.
.
Didn't you see it just now? There are several planned shops being renovated across the road.
Xiao Liu stopped halfway and found that the early morning mist had begun to slowly dissipate. The dawn light shone on the interface, and the fog that had not yet receded outlined a vague golden edge, as if something was about to spurt out.
.
At 8:30 in the morning, when he came to the company to sign in for work, Xiao Liu handed the milk tea to his goddess Li Moli and talked about the membership card.
"With one card, you bought three cups of milk tea after breakfast, and you only spent twenty-three yuan?"
"Well, they seem to have activities every solar term, and there are also crazy Thursday half-price meals and so on."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, Meimei, Brother Chen, come here quickly, there is something good."
""
In one morning, the color page was almost gone viral, and there were people who came to see Xiao Liu specifically to look at the membership card.
In fact, Xiao Liu had given them Yang Ji's mutton soup and dumplings a few days ago, but no one was interested. But today, several colleagues came over and said they planned to try it with him.
Goddess Jasmine proposed to go together.
The life of a social animal is boring. They can't stand anything new and want to join in the fun whenever something happens.
But plans often fail to keep up with changes. Xiao Liu had just finished his work and planned to take them to Yangji, but he received a notice from his leader that he had to go to Kyoto for a meeting with several supervisors.
It was already evening after arriving from Wuhan to Kyoto. After leaving the airport, Xiao Liu arrived at the hotel and began to rest.
The seats in the economy class are cramped and densely packed, making them extremely uncomfortable to sit on. Moreover, the designer must be a bad person. He designed the backrest to be straight, making it uncomfortable to lean upright and uncomfortable when leaning upright. It is extremely uncomfortable.
Xiao Liu went to sleep and slept until night. When he woke up again, his stomach was empty, especially since he didn't eat Yang Ji's dumplings today, not to mention how empty he felt.
"Find something to eat."
“I wonder if there are any good dumpling restaurants in Kyoto.”
Xiao Liu scratched his head and walked out of the hotel. He walked forward aimlessly and came to a relatively prosperous street. His eyes instantly caught a familiar logo that said Yang Ji.
"?"
He walked over and took a look, and suddenly he felt like he was dreaming back to Wuhan, not because of Yang Ji, but because there was a Xitian family not far away from Yang Ji, and he saw it in the card introduction brochure.
Grilled fish with green peppercorns, convenience store.
In addition, across the street, less than 300 meters to the west, it is obvious that there are several shops that are being renovated, and there are also scaffolding and other things erected at the door.
Damn it, are you sleepy?
Xiao Liu stepped forward and took a look at the commercial street in front, and found that those stores were really being renovated.
Although it was already dark, there was still a lot of traffic nearby. Most of them were young people. A few of them looked like students. Then they walked towards the bottom of a nearby shopping mall and entered a river to fish.
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, reached out and took out the membership card stuffed in his wallet, and went to the convenience store to tentatively buy a pack of cigarettes.
Can be brushed.
This card can really be used. Although there is no discount for buying cigarettes, he can clearly see the value of his points.
At this moment, the phone in Xiao Liu's pocket suddenly rang.
I took it out and took a look at the caller ID. It was Lao Liang, my classmate in college. After graduation, the two of them went to different cities, one in Wuhan and the other in Xi'an. They often communicated via QQ and not many phone calls.
"What's wrong, Lao Liang?"
"Brother, it's your birthday today and I can't find any friends. I'll give you a call. How are you doing lately?"
"I'm on a business trip, and I didn't even make it to dinner. It's too hard to be a social worker. I've sold my body and soul, but I can only make a little bit of money."
"I'm about the same. I just finished working overtime and found a hot pot restaurant to celebrate my birthday by myself. I was so miserable that I didn't even dare to tell my parents."
Xiao Liu sighed and just wanted to comfort his brother with a few words, but found that there was suddenly a burst of cheerful music coming from the jian.
Say goodbye to all the troubles, say hello to all the happiness, happy birthday, my dear, I wish you happiness forever, happiness forever~
The song was obviously sung by a large group of real people, because he also heard someone singing it wrong, and the hey hey at the back was also sung as bye bye. The key is that after the song was finished, there was a learning sound, and there were also lively blessings.
"Old Liang, didn't you say you were alone?"
Xiao Liu felt a little uncomfortable. He felt that he was not afraid that his brothers would suffer, but that he was afraid of driving a Land Rover.
He was standing alone on a strange street corner in a strange city, hearing that he was as lonely as his brothers, and celebrating his birthday alone. He just felt a little better, but when he heard such a lively noise, his mentality suddenly became a bit mixed.
"I'm really alone, otherwise I wouldn't call you, but the waiters from the hot pot restaurant came to celebrate my birthday, which was quite a surprise.
"What kind of hot pot restaurant is so outrageous? And it helps guests celebrate their birthdays?"
"Fishing it in the river."
Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment, hung down his cell phone, and looked across the bright square at the Heli Lao restaurant opposite.
He suddenly had a premonition that an unknown mystery seemed to be invading everyone's lives quickly, quietly, and constantly, gradually bewitching people's hearts in a way he had never seen before.
A milk tea shop that gives away free ginger and red dates during the heavy snow solar term, and a hot pot restaurant that can receive blessings from the whole store even if a person’s birthday is celebrated alone.
Xiao Liu himself works in the market, so he is very sensitive to these things. From morning to night, what he saw and heard today is like a scene taking advantage of the mist that comes in the early morning, silent, but
